Start Football

Start's football team appeared in the first OHSAA playoffs Division I in school history after finishing the regular season 9-1 during the 2015 season. In 2016, after finishing 5-5 (0-5 out of conference ) Start won back to back city championships, a first in school history.

Rivalries

From its opening until 1991, Start had a rivalry with the DeVilbiss Tigers, which were located in the same neighborhood and a very short distance south of Start. When DeVilbiss closed, much of its school district was absorbed by Start after a community effort urging TPS to merge Start into DeVilbiss had failed. [4]

Start's main and long-standing rivals is Washington Local Schools’ Whitmer Panthers, located just over two miles away on Clegg Drive. The "Battle of Tremainsville" was a non-conference matchup from Start's inception in the early 1960s until Whitmer joined the City League in 2003. Beginning with the 2011-12 school year, it reverted to a non-league matchup when Whitmer joined the new Three Rivers Athletic Conference.
